By the way guys, just in case, this according to him happened in the UAE and not in the USA. And I think the person that he mentioned "Ivan" is a tuner in Dubai.

Your posts are agonizing to read.
I think Mia posted something like this a while back, where he "heard" of an APS blown motor, but didn't know first hand, and he got pounded for it. Don't post about anyone's blown motor until you have ALL the facts, please.

I'm not saying its any fault or problem with the kit, this is bound to happen in time on this stock motor.

It just gets on my nerves when someone who has a grudge against APS (or any kit for that matter) can't WAIT to post something about an APS blown motor. It's like me posting "Greddy blows another one!!! I don't have details, and I wasn't there, but there she blew!!!", lol.

Well with alot of the APS guys always reminding every one that the APS is the safest and most complete kit out there . You can expect it when others make a big deal about it . With the likes of Zivman and others always tell people it is the nth in TT kits and blowing a motor with the APS is slim.....your going to hear about it when they start blowing motors . It just seems fare that the APS lovers get back as much as they gave out .

I agree with Booger. I'm sick and tired of all the APS lovers praising the kit but when anybody blew their motor they tried to sweep it under the carpet and make sure nobody finds out. I think the APS kit is a great kit but it's not the holy grail. No kit is. So with the good, comes the bad. People who have blown their motors with the APS should just admit it and maybe people can learn from this. With everybody saying that they're pushing all this power on a stock block and then not telling everybody when it blows, it makes everybody else want to push the limits of their stock block thinking they can.

Kjbalto, I think owners would admit it. But they just don't want to go through the bullchit that comes with posting it here or the other forum. Case in point read this thread and the other on this forum alone. You have the same people on both sides f**king up every thread that comes out about any kit. It's getting real old I wish these people would just grow up.

yeah same here, the APS kits are great great kits, but the stock engine is capable of getting blown up. Usually I'd tend to say it's the user's fault or lack of monitoring/cooling/driving the **** out of their car too much for the amount of cooling provisions they're running (or not) etc, but I wouldn't be suprised if it could still happen anyway on a stock block if the user set everything up right and monitored everything.
that said, some people might be embarased to post about their blown up engine - cause it MIGHT have really been their fault and the dogs will jump on them saying they should have bought such and such things and done such and such maintenance stuff. Or (might be a shock) some people don't read/post on the forums

ooh yesterday i went to a garage which installs/tune Skyline R34`s Supra`s 350Z`s, and i saw Turbonetics box there, it might be the first Turbonetics Z in Kuwait which i know about, i`ve asked the Installer his name is Koko, how long it will take to install it and how much the ST installation will cost, he told me the owner of the Z blew his motor, he told me i recommend you NOT to install any forced induction, because this motor can`t handle the boost, and he told me what do you hear in the Internet is something and reality is something :P
anyway why did he blew his Z ?
1- he didn't use any gauge believe it or not !!!!! he told the installer am gonna order one later. ( people normally use Boost,EGT,AF and still getting problems)
2- he ordered a upgraded Clutch, while they are discovering what is the cause of the blown motor, they saw the clutch DARK BLACK, even my black T-Shirt looks white compared to the damaged clutch, the installer said maybe he ****fted into lower gear by wrong, thats why the clutch is BLACKKKKK.
3- maybe he was getting over-boost or he installed a boost controller and pumped up the boost.
what i did learned from this installer that he is good but the problem is from the people, some people ditch everything and go racing, no racing isn't as much important as completing your project first, fun will begin with your completed project.
P.S. am not gonna change my mind am gonna Armor my car with cooling stuff, then installing the Turbo Kit with Gauges of course
